1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundPrimary closure of large ventral hernia is difficult and is usually complicated by postoperative mesh bulge, migration, and higher recurrence. Techniques like component separation and bridging mesh, transversus abdominus release, da Silva triple-layer repair, and peritoneal flap hernioplasty (PFH) are common treatment options.

objectiveTo evaluate the early postoperative and long-term outcomes of PFH for large ventral hernias.

methodsA systematic literature search was performed on the electronic databases of PubMed, Web of Knowledge, and Scopus till July 28, 2024. We performed a single-arm meta-analysis of non-comparative studies using OpenMeta[Analyst] software (Center for Evidence-Based Medicine, Brown University, Rhode Island, USA).

resultsFive studies including 432 patients (238 male and 194 female patients in a ratio of 1.23:1.0) underwent PFH for large ventral hernia. The estimated proportion of patients who may experience skin necrosis, seroma, hematoma, superficial surgical site infection, and deep mesh infection were 1.2% (95% CI: 0.001, 0.022; I

conclusionPFH seems to be a safe and feasible procedure for the repair of complex or large ventral hernias where it is difficult to perform primary fascial closure. Further studies with a direct comparison of PFH with component separation techniques are necessary to validate the results of our study.
